*Marilyn's Point Of View *

I called Yuli to come over. it's already late and Michael's still isn't here. I hear a knock on the front door. I walk out of the kitchen to answer the door. I open it to see a tired but smiling Yuli. Hey girl I'm so glad you're here I am freaking out, She hugs me and walks in. "I'm sure you are you haven't heard a word from him? ", No not at all this isn't like Michael, She nods as we walk in the kitchen. thirsty I have water and juice?, "damn no wine? ", I laugh. You know we don't drink, She laughs while sitting on a barstool. "I'll take a water then, where are the kid's? ", I go in the fridge and hand her a bottled water. uhh they are upstairs sleep I hope, She nods taking a sip of her water. "maybe he's at work or left his phone? ", I shake my head. He wouldn't leave his phone and he left work like 2 hours ago, "dang, but you making it seem like he might be found murdered or something ",She takes another sip. I look at her. Yuli please don't say that please, "I'm sorry Marilyn girl please get yourself together do it for the kid's please calm do-", She was cut off by my cellphone ringing. I quickly search my pockets for it and answered.

*hello?

"Hey is this Mrs.Jackson first name Marilyn? "

uhh yes it is, may I ask who This is?

"oh of course ma'am my apologies my name is officer Clayton and we have your husband Michael in custody "

(silence, looks at Yuli )

"ma'am? are you there Mrs.Jackson? "

uhh yes yes, can you tell me why?

"umm if you can come downtown we can speak about this plus possible bond "

uhh ok thank-you officer Clayton

"no problem Mrs.Jackson, see you soon "

yeah I'll be there in ten

"ok "*

I end the call and continue looking at Yuli. "will you tell me what's going on? ",I rub my face. It's Michael... I have to go downtown, "why? ", Yuli I need you to watch the kid's for me ok please?, She nods. I walk out looking for my key's. She follows. "Is everything ok? ", I grab the key's and jog to the door. I turn around. I'll tell you everything when I get back, I said turning to rush out the door. I quickly jog to the car and started it. please let him be ok please, I back out the driveway and started on my way to the downtown police station. I can't even focus right now. Michael being in a police station? has hell froze over?. I turn up the radio to ease my mind. soon I finally make it to the station. I quickly find a park and wasted no time getting out. I fix my skirt and blouse and rebuckle my heels. I tidy myself up when I'm nervous. I fix my short kinky curled fro and slowly walked in the office. I walk to the front desk. uhh excuse me... sir I was called by officer Clayton?, The man with pale skin and frilly grey hair leaned up in his chair. "if you are either Mrs.Greene or Mrs.Jackson then yes ", I'm Mrs.Jackson, He stands up an points. "down the hall to your left is his office ", I smile. thank-you, I said turning to where he pointed me. I slowly walk to his office. I knock softly on the door when I get there. "come in please ", I open and again walk in slowly. "hello Mrs.Jackson?", Yes that's me, "Well please take a seat if you will ", I nod and sit. I take a good look at officer Clayton as he stands up. He has nice light brown hair, dark blue eye's, and a nice tan. He also looks fit. He smiles at me then takes out a file frowning a little. "Well Mrs.Jackson, your husband was charged with aggravated assault, do you know of a Mr.Austin Greene? " ,Yes he's my boss, "hmm interesting, do you know why Mr.Jackson would want to engage in an altercation with Mr.Greene?",uhh yes kind of, "elaborate on that if you will ",I sigh. Well they were old friend's when we were in high-school... and long story short thing's changed Austin changed into someone Michael couldn't affiliate himself with ...they lost contact till I applied for a job which so happens that Austin owned the company... Michael wasn't happy but gave it a chance... the other night Austin forced himself on me... I later told Michael he begged me to tell him what was wrong... I told him this morning and haven't heard from him since till now officer Clayton, He nods writing stuff down. "ok I see, umm we have no word if Mr.Greene is pressing charges or not, And why didn't you report him for sexual harassment? ", I looked down. I just wanted a job and it was a one time thing besides some flirting which I ignore, "Mrs.Jackson if I may say, it sounds to me you work for uhh.. and excuse this asshole ", I laugh. yeah I guess so is Michael free to go? I mean it was defense right?, "in a Way yes but it was a pretty heated altercation ", Yes I know but he was just defending his wife, He stays silent for awhile. "Well it is his first office so he can go ", thank-you thank-you... how much for bail?, "nothing just make sure he's never here again ", I nod. "ok follow me ", I nod and follow him to the holding cell. Michael wasn't sitting in the corner looking down. Michael?, here quickly looks up."oh my gosh Marilyn Mama I'm sorry ",here said waiting waiting for officer Clayton to unlock the cell. it's ok babe it's ok are you ok?, I said grabbing his face examining it. did he hurt you?, He takes my hand and kisses it. "mama I'm fine he can't fight ",I laugh. Then slapped his arm hard. That's for fighting,I hit him a few more time's. that's for having me worried sick... that's for ending up in a damn police station... and that's because I Love you, He holds his arm. "ok ok damn lesson learned",I laugh. thank-you officer Clayton, "anytime and you can call me Carson ",I nod and take Michael's hand. let's go convict, He laughs as we walk out....
